• Abstract summary: We propose CTEG, a model equipped with two mechanisms to learn to decouple easily-confused relations. On the one hand, an EGA mechanism is introduced to guide the attention to filter out information causing confusion. On the other hand, a Confusion-Aware Training (CAT) method is proposed to explicitly learn to distinguish relations.

• Abstract: This paper aims to enhance the few-shot relation classification especially for sentences that jointly describe multiple relations. Due to the fact that some relations usually keep high co-occurrence in the same context, previous few-shot relation classifiers struggle to distinguish them with few annotated instances. To alleviate the above relation confusion problem, we propose CTEG, a model equipped with two mechanisms to learn to decouple these easily-confused relations. On the one hand, an Entity-Guided Attention (EGA) mechanism, which leverages the syntactic relations and relative positions between each word and the specified entity pair, is introduced to guide the attention to filter out information causing confusion. On the other hand, a Confusion-Aware Training (CAT) method is proposed to explicitly learn to distinguish relations by playing a pushing-away game between classifying a sentence into a true relation and its confusing relation. Extensive experiments are conducted on the FewRel dataset, and the results show that our proposed model achieves comparable and even much better results to strong baselines in terms of accuracy. Furthermore, the ablation test and case study verify the effectiveness of our proposed EGA and CAT, especially in addressing the relation confusion problem.

• Multiple Relations Classification using Imbalanced Predictions Adaptation [0.0]
  The relation classification task assigns the proper semantic relation to a pair of subject and object entities. Current relation classification models employ additional procedures to identify multiple relations in a single sentence. We propose a multiple relations classification model that tackles these issues through a customized output architecture and by exploiting additional input features.

  We propose an unknown-aware training method, regularizing the model by dynamically synthesizing negative instances. Inspired by text adversarial attacks, we adaptively apply small but critical perturbations to original training instances. Experimental results show that this method achieves SOTA unknown relation detection without compromising the classification of known relations.

  Few-shot semantic segmentation is the task of learning to locate each pixel of a novel class in a query image with only a few annotated support images. We propose a Feature-Enhanced Context-Aware Network (FECANet) to suppress the matching noise caused by inter-class local similarity. In addition, we propose a novel correlation reconstruction module that encodes extra correspondence relations between foreground and background and multi-scale context semantic features.
